HOW TO MAKE A MILLION is about Jonathan Maitland's attempts to get rich by buying and selling shares from his own front room on the internet. Despite being a complete e-dunce, he mortgaged his house for GBP50,000, which he trys to turn into GBP1million within a year. This book is his diary, kept over that year, at the end of which the author sells his entire portfolio and works out how much he's made (or lost)! During the year, he interviews key players, eg. Martha Lane Fox, Raymond Snoddy and Nick Leeson, who give him advice, insights and tips, as well as lesser known names, like the 26-year-old Atlanta man who made $7 million last year without leaving his flat, and the growing numbers of builders, cabbies and barmaids who've been hooked.
